Many of us remember Dick Clark from the days when he hosted American Bandstand. Many of the groups he introduced went on to fame. And, a whole cult grew up around the regulars who attended and danced on his program each week.
RIP!

TMZ is reporting that famed TV producer, and “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” host Dick Clark has died at the age of 82 from an apparent massive heart attack.
There are few details surrounding his death at this time.
Clark suffered a stroke in 2004, forcing him to retire from hosting “New Years’ Rockin’ Eve.” Ryan Seacrest took over in 2006
Aw, man!
Thanx Dick, for all the memories.
I suggest anyone to hit youtube and punch in any 60's singer/group and American Bandstand will be one of the featured.
RIP..... and Rock ‘n’ Roll.
America’s oldest teenager is gone.
He had a good beat and was easy to dance to.
Rest in Peace Mr. Clark and thanks for all you did
A truly American icon & by all accounts great guy...
RIP, Mr. Clark
Wow!
RIP and thanks.
RIP, Dick!
